Ian Happ homered twice, including a two-run shot in the sixth inning that rallied the Chicago Cubs to an 8-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies.
Considering all the hype surrounding guys like Paul Skenes and Jared Jones last year and Bubba Chandler (No. 1 prospect) and Hunter Barco (No. 5 prospect) this year, Mike Burrows might not have been on everyone’s radar coming into this season.
Jesús Luzardo’s bounce-back outing vs. the Chicago Cubs proves huge for the Phillies after pitch-tipping concerns plagued prior outings.
Kyle Schwarber homered, Alec Bohm hit a solo shot and had four RBIs, and Jesús Luzardo struck out 10 in six innings to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 7-2 win over the Chicago Cubs.
For a second consecutive day, Craig Counsell watched the end of the Chicago Cubs game from the visiting manager’s office following an ejection.

Phillies lineup: Ben Brown was just outstanding in his last start Friday in Detroit.
BOTTOM LINE: The Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago Cubs play on Wednesday with the winner claiming the three-game series. Philadelphia is 20-13 in home games and 38-29 overall. Phillies hitters are batting a collective .253, the eighth-best team batting average in MLB play.
